Getting Ready for Santa!


The first "real" snow fall was the day that we decided to go find our Christmas tree! It was so much fun watching the boys follow daddy to help him find mommy a great Christmas tree! It was so pretty outside watching the snow falling and feeling the fresh air on our cheeks.

The boys found a marvelous tree for us and mommy was pleased. In fact, Kyle and I think this might be the best looking tree we have had yet!
We went home and the boys were so excited they barely took their jackets off to get the tree decorated for Santa Clause! We talked about presents, how Santa would fit down our chimney and what kind of treats we will be leaving him this year as we were decorating. The boys have wild imaginations and Kyle and I just listened and smiled:) Caleb was apart of all the fun too, just watching and listening to all of Drew and Micah's excitement! He helped mommy put up a few ornaments too.:)
I think Andrew looks like such a big boy here decorating the tree and thinking about Santa.The next morning we sat down and wrote a letter to Santa telling him all the things that we would like for Christmas this year. Andrew's letter asked for a shovel, sled, dinosaurs and Legos! Micah asked Santa for a red scooter, Sprite, tootsie rolls, and also a sled and shovel! It was so cute watching the boys put stamps on their letters and bring them to the mailbox. This is a picture of the boys sending their letters to the Northpole! What fun it is to believe in the magic of Christmas. Kyle and I are loving every minute of it! Hope you are enjoying the Christmas Season already as much as we are!

Grandmas Marathon- getting faster!!

3:00:38 Grandmas Marathon PR!! I’m still smiling…things are coming along nicely in my marathon expertise! Haha, Im just being silly but I really am learning more as I go-what works best for me, what doesn’t.  June 17th was a blast!! Cramps hit strong in my left calf around mile 18 and then my pace got more limited as I went, I was so scared I would pull something that I tried to find the balance of push and hold up! Super proud of this race and the battle I fought. The marathon is a beast and continues to challenge me! Games ON still for the CIM Marathon on December 3rd. 😁First up though, trails and less miles for me for awhile. My friend Leah is a true gem, someone I really enjoy sharing running miles and life with. Kyle, Micah and I enjoyed time with Leah’s family in Duluth. Her sister Sara and brother-in-law Mike made us feel so welcome and special!  I’ve been getting faster and continue to PR each year since my late 30s, in fact the last time I raced Grandmas Marathon I ran a 3:16

Getting better and getting ready to go home!

Hey There! We thank all of you so much for all of your prayer support through this entire process. Go sure had His hand in this from the beginning. Anna and Micah are both doing just great. Yesterday was a hard day for Anna, She was very tired and had a hard time as the Doctors began to take her off of some of the pain meds she was not feeling good. She began to get a high temp,but that was all taken care of by early in the night and she slept great. She will be again trying to get of the IV pain meds and move to pills, if this goes well today we will be on our way home to see Drew tomorrow. Anna and I are both really loving the calm personality that God gave to little Micah as we know the high energy that Drew has waiting for us at home. We can't wait to see his little smile again and hear all of his animal noises and cars sounds. It will be so great to see the way that God grows these two boys only 17 months apart. It will be crazy and great all at the same time. Pray

Friday came quick!😅

 These full days have gone by super fast this week. Teaching full days to students who need my full attention, getting over a cold this week, spending time with all the boys each night, and keeping up with Kyle’s busy church schedule has had us all feeling like it has been a quick week! Micah and Caleb had a tennis meeting this week to get ready for their spring season, Kyle and I are really excited to cheer them on soon! Maybe sooner with how warm our weather has been this winter. It’s been fun to hear that Micah has been at the courts a lot already with his buddies, praying he has a solid season ahead for his Junior year.  Micah will be 17yrs old next Tuesday! It’s so crazy to think I have an 18yr old, almost 17yr old, 15yr old, and 12yr old….I wish I could keep them little.❤️ Each season of life looks so different. I never imagined this season looking the way it does. Working full time was never a dream of mine with such a busy family. However, God is so BIG. He is so much better in
